This Month's Recommended Read
Reviewed by Mary C. Beckwith,
Delaware resident and your fellow Mature Reader
Reader and reviewer Mary C. Beckwith
This book is the last in a series featuring Masie Dobbs. I have read all the books -- loved them, and am sorry that this is the last. The series begins before World War I. Masie is a 16 year old servant who is found reading at night by the lady of the manor, who decides to have her educated. Masie becomes a nurse during the war, and ultimately, a detective as she must investigate the reappearance of a supposedly dead man who turns up at a center for men who are recovering their health after the war. Start with the first book in the series, Masie Dobbs.

If you've enjoyed this edition of the Mature Reader, please share it with your friends! We'll be back next month with more just for you.
